Websites or similar that have sorted you into Slytherin: I've got to be honest and say I've never been big on quizzes. The few that I have taken have been a mix of Slytherin and Ravenclaw but with Slytherin dominating the bunch if I do remember correctly.
In your personal opinion, what makes a Slytherin: The makeup of a true Slytherin entails an aptness and skill in the arts of subtelty and precision. They must be willing to do what is necessary but at the same time use his/her aforementioned skills to map out the most sure road to success. If a situation calls for slow and deliberate steps a Slytherin would never stoop to the foolhardy qualities innate in those passionate Gryffindors. Our true power lies in our ability to shun heedless behavior and wait patiently for all our cards to be laid out before us or if a more direct and expeditious route is required to rely on our inherent cunning to lead us through or if the case may be allow us an effortless escape from whatever compromise we might very well find ourselves in. Furthermore a Slytherin is known for his/her ambition. It is most definitely our more prominent trait and for good reason. We never opt for second best. By whatever means and by whatever methods that must be employed we will do whatever is within our power to claim our rightful place.
Choose one stereotype about Slytherins that you believe is unfair, and tell us why: Being sorted into Slytherin is not the equivalent of being christened “Evil”. Some believe by even mere association with a Slytherin there must be something wrong with you. Who decides this? Who came up with such an utterly ignorant idea? Sly and cunning we may be but lumping us all together into one convention to suit your primitive need to categorize is NOT a plausible reason to make a mockery of our Slytherin ideals just because they may differ from your own. Perhaps if you were not so quick to judge you may come to the conclusion (even though you may be hesitant to admit it) that you NEED US. You NEED US to do the necessary work you are unwilling to sully your sweet innocent hands doing. You NEED US to reel you back in when your about to make complete imbeciles of yourselves. You NEED US to test you, to harden your exteriors for the real world and yet you have the nerve to call us cowards and to trample on the good name of Slytherin. How dare you.
What personal traits make you well suited to being a slytherin: I am a self-preserver. I do not rely on others nor do I want other to rely upon me. I will get where I’m going in life on my own merits and by my own moral code and will not break from my ideals for nobody. The things I care about will never be abandoned because I would never allow myself to just give up. I will always find a way. Next I understand the importance of maintaining a low profile when necessary. I never just boldly blunder about because I know the importance of being methodical. You can’t just advertise yourself to the world without first feeling out your surroundings. That’s just basic knowledge for any Slytherin.
Describe something you’ve done that you consider Slytherin-like: I’m about to graduate but this last semester I was basically forced to take a Speech class as it is a requirement in order to graduate. The class was a complete joke. Cross word puzzles and movie quizzes made up the majority of the curriculum. Anyways needless to say I easily passed the class with high marks for the first two grading periods but the third time around was a little different. The man actually wanted a speech in a speech class for the first time since the class started! [insert snort of derision here] Well thing is at this point I was bogged down with work in all of my honors classes and I really honestly had no time to write this teacher his essay and I was not about to put my other more important grades on the line for his sorry excuse for a class. So…I reused the essay I had submitted to a University earlier and received full marks plus a note to join debate next year! The man didn’t even realize I was a Senior. *rolls eyes*
What, in your personal opinion, is a Slytherin’s code of conduct: I think each Slytherin’s code is a little different. We are known for making and living by our own rules and that is never going to change. However some key points that I don’t think can be ignored and that I have already touched on previously are…
A light foot that knows that subtlety is the best policy at all times. Brashness should be heeded at all costs.
Senses should be honed at all times. Never blindly trust anyone and always be expecting the unexpected.
Never forget who you are and where you come from. It’s only by measuring ourselves against our past selves that we will ever know how far we’ve advanced and in what direction we wish to continue to grow.
Remember to always keep your cool in dangerous situations especially if you realize you no longer have the upper hand.
If you couldn't be in Slytherin, which other house would you be in, and why shouldn't you be in that house in the first place: Undoubtedly Ravenclaw. Mostly because my personality clashes too much with the other two houses but also because I’ve always been a bit of a bookworm. I love to learn about new things. However the reason why I could never be anywhere but in Slytherin is my cunning and ambitious sides. I think they stand out in a very dominant way and because of this I will never truly fit perfectly into Ravenclaw the way I would Slytherin.
Explain in less than 500 words why you wish to join
slytherin : I thought it would be interesting to be apart of a community that has the same respect for this house as I do. I feel as if Slytherin is too often cast aside as the “Evil House” (sometimes by JK herself) and it just really depresses me that no one can look past the stereotype. It’s misunderstood and I can identify with that. I will admit I also have great admiration for Professor Snape and erm the slightest of crushes. In fact he was the character in the books who made me stop and take a closer look at the Slytherin house and really question characters I never thought I would *cough*Dumbledore*cough* and he will always be in my opinion the true hero of the Harry Potter Series.
